Description

  The present invention relates to a portable applicator suitable for use in, for example, a paintbrush for watercolors, and more particularly to a device incorporating a solution for dissolving a paint or the like.

As a portable brush, a brush pen with a built-in ink is known. Such a brush pen is filled with ink in a hollow body that can be elastically deformed, attached to the tip of the body, and pushed the body to push the ink in the body to the inside of the head. It has become. Moreover, not only a brush pen but the red brush for lipsticks, etc. have the same structure (refer patent document 1).
JP 2002-165637 A

Since the above-mentioned brush pen or the like has a colored liquid built in the body portion in advance and oozes out toward the inside of the tip, it draws characters etc. with the colored liquid in the tip. One brush was required for each color, and when multiple colored liquids were used, only the number of brushes required. Therefore, one brush cannot be used in common for a plurality of colors, and as a rule, it is disposable for each color.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to commonly use a single brush for coating materials having different colors and the like.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, claim 1 according to the portable applicator of the present application comprises a body part for grasping by hand, and a tip composed of a ciliary body attached to an end of the body part. In the portable applicator for applying the coating material dissolved in the melt to the object to be coated,
A hollow tank is provided in the barrel portion, the colorless solution is filled in the tank, and the melt solution is pushed out to the inside of the tip by liquid pushing means provided in the barrel portion. To do.

  A second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the first aspect, the liquid extrusion means includes a pressing portion for generating an extrusion pressure on the liquid, and extrudes a predetermined amount of melt every time the pressing portion is pressed. To do.

A third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the first aspect, the melt is replenishable into the tank.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the body is hollow, the melt is contained therein, and the melt is pushed out to the inside of the tip by the liquid push-out means, so that the extruded melt moistens the tip. Therefore, if this applicator is placed on a coating material such as a paint, the coating material dissolves and adheres to the surface of the tip of the brush. It becomes possible.

  In addition, since the solution is colorless, refilling is unnecessary even if the color of the coating material is different, and it can be used in common by washing the tip. Therefore, it can be used in common for various kinds of coating materials having different colors or the like with only one applicator, and it is not necessary to carry the melt separately from the applicator, so that it is suitable for carrying.

  In addition, when washing the tip, if a large amount of the solution is pushed out, the solution is pushed out from the inside of the tip toward the surface, and the coating material adhering to the surface can be washed away. Can be used for coating fee. Therefore, it may be possible to omit carrying a cleaning solution or container for washing the tip separately from the applicator.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the liquid push-out means includes a pressing portion, and a predetermined amount of the melt is pushed out each time the pressing portion is pushed once, so that an appropriate amount of the melt can be pushed out accurately.

According to the third aspect, when the melt contained in the body portion is consumed, it can be replenished from the outside. Therefore, it is not disposable and can be used for a long time.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment applied to a paintbrush for watercolor painting as an applicator will be described based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is an axial sectional view of a watercolor painting brush 1 according to the present embodiment. The paintbrush 1 includes a hollow body 2, a tip 3 provided at one end thereof, a cap 4 that detachably covers the outside, and a liquid push-out means 5 provided at the other end of the body 2. .

  The tip 3 is preferably composed of hair like a brush for a brush, but a porous material that can be impregnated with a solution such as felt in a felt pen is also possible, and these are collectively referred to as a ciliary body. To do. Such a ciliary body can be used as the tip 3.

  The trunk | drum 2 comprises the hollow cylindrical shape which consists of comparatively rigid appropriate materials, such as resin, and a hollow part makes a cylindrical tank. A liquid push-out means 5 is detachably attached to the shaft end of the body portion 2 by screwing.

  The liquid push-out means 5 includes a knock portion 6 that protrudes to the outer end side. The knock portion 6 is an example of a pressing portion, and has a mechanism for pushing the piston 7 facing the inner end of the liquid pushing means 5, that is, the hollow portion of the barrel portion 2 in the axial direction of the barrel portion 2 each time it is pressed. .

  The piston 7 slides in close contact with the inner surface of the hollow part of the body part 2 in a liquid-tight manner, and pushes the melt 8 filled in the body part 2 toward the tip 3 side.

  The movement amount of the piston 7, that is, the movement stroke by pressing the knock portion 6 once is set to be constant, and the stroke amount is obtained so that the necessary amount of the melt 8 to be pushed out to the tip 3 can be obtained at one time. Is set.

  The piston 7 stops by a predetermined stroke each time the knock portion 6 is pressed, and does not return backward. However, when the melt 8 moves to the limit position in the vicinity of the partition wall 9, the melt 8 can be returned to the original position by performing a predetermined return operation on the liquid pushing means 5.

  A partition wall 9 is formed at the shaft end of the body portion 2 on the tip 3 side, and a melt solution passage 11 extends from the through hole 10 formed in the center to the inside of the tip 3. Further, a known member for preventing the liquid drop by preventing the liquid leakage from leaking when the liquid leakage preventing portion 13 is accommodated in the through hole 10 and the molten liquid 8 is not pushed out at a pressure higher than a predetermined value when not operated. It is. A valve mechanism such as a check valve can be used.

  Further, since the barrel portion 2 and the liquid push-out means 5 are screwed together at the screw portion 14, if the piston 7 is pushed and moved to the vicinity of the partition wall 9 and the melt 8 is consumed, the barrel portion 2 is consumed. By separating the liquid pushing means 5, it is possible to replenish the melt 8 into the body 2. Therefore, it can be used for a long time rather than disposable.

  The solution 8 is a colorless liquid for dissolving a coating material such as a watercolor paint, and is water in this example. That is, in the case of a brush for watercolor paint, the dissolving liquid 8 is water, and in the case of other brushes, it is a solvent or the like, and is appropriately selected according to the purpose of use.

  FIG. 2 shows an example in which the paintbrush 1 is used for a watercolor paint. Reference numeral 15 denotes a box-like pallet provided with a lid 15a that opens and closes, and a large number of paints 16a, 16b,. Reference numeral 17 denotes a melting portion of the paint provided on the lid 15a side. Reference numeral 18 denotes a housing portion for the paintbrush 1 provided in the main body portion 15b, 19 denotes a sponge for wiping the tip 3, and 20 denotes drawing paper. The drawing paper 20 is an example of an object to be coated, and there are various other things such as a campus.

  Next, the usage method of this embodiment is demonstrated. In FIG. 2, the color to be used is selected for a number of differently colored paints 16a, 16b,... Prepared on the palette 15, and the paint selected by the tip 3 of the paintbrush 1, for example 16a, is selected. 3 and move to the melting part 17. Subsequently, the knock portion 6 is knocked and the piston 7 is moved to push the melt 8 into the tip 3 to be included, and the tip 3 is moved to melt the paint 16a.

  Then, since the paint 16a is dissolved by the melt 8 that has blotted into the tip 3 and adheres to the surface of the tip 3, it can be used in the same manner as a normal paint brush. Thus, the attached paint 16a can be applied to the drawing paper 20 and colored.

  If the paint is low, refill it. At this time, after knocking the knocking portion 6 to push out the melt, the same procedure as described above may be repeated.

  In order to change the color, the knocking portion 6 is knocked several times while the tip 3 is separated from the pallet 15. Then, a larger amount of melt than usual is pushed out, so that the paint 16 a attached to the surface of the tip 3 is washed away from the inside of the tip 3. At this time, if the tip 3 is wiped with a sponge 19 or another cloth, the paint 16a can be wiped off more easily. Then, use the same procedure as described above to melt another favorite paint.

  In this way, one brush can be used in common for many colors without preparing a brush for each color. Moreover, it is possible to eliminate the need for carrying a brush-washing box, which was conventionally necessary. In addition, when wash | cleaning the tip 3, it is free to wash the tip 3 using a brush-washing box, and also in this case, brush-washing can be made quick by pushing out the melt 8 from the inside of the tip 3. .

  The present invention can be applied and modified in various ways. For example, the paintbrush 1 can be used not only for watercolors but also for acrylic paints. Also, a method for providing a watercolor effect by coloring and drawing with a colored pencil and tracing with a brush containing water is also known, but it can be used as a brush containing water in this case.

It can also be used as a brush when writing letters with a colored liquid on the brush. Furthermore, it can also be used for cosmetic brushes such as lipsticks. Therefore, as the coating material, not only paints but also other types of colorable materials can be used.
